Gen Star,
Please accept my sincere apology for whatever I wrote in the thread that we were in.
It was not , and is not, my intention to have written anything that you could think to being something that indicated that you are antisemitic.
The phrase, {like a virus,} triggered my past and being human I did not take the time to write what I wanted to in a better way. There are at least two previous posts here that use a similar metaphore toward me and that was triggerd also, so this is not the first time that I have been called a metaphore like that here. And IRL I have had that phrase tacked on to me by others that were using me as a scapegoat.
I do not think that you are antisemitic and the parts of the post in question were about the jews having their voice stilled by tyrants in history but that these tyrants did not succeed in eliminating the voice of the jews, like Hitler and Haman. The point was that ,sure, my voice can be stilled here, but the voice of Judaism will not , even if there is another Hitler or Haman. I am hoping that you can see that in that statement at the end, for it was the Hitlers and Hamans in history and the one's that may come in the future to persecute the jews that I was referring to.
The other part could be about the use of the metaphore,[..like a virus...] and the constant pleas to Dr. Hsiung to do something to reduce the number of my requests here. But I see that if he carries out your and others pleas to make some policy, that I could possibly not be allowed to post requests on the administration board at all, for instance if he sets up a babblemail or separate email for such as some have put forth, or if I have to have a potential confrontation first, which I do not want to do.
That is what I mean by [...still my voice...]. I guess the "you" will stilll my voice could have been, [...my voice may be stilled by others and Dr. Hsiung here...].
Can we go forward?
Lou
